Nestlé NAN COMFORT 1 is suitable to use from birth.
Currently at a discounted price of $20.99 for an 800g tin. Buy it here.
Parents in the Tell Me Baby community say this formula is gentle on their baby’s stomach, mixes well and doesn’t have a weird smell. One parent said they love having a 30 ml increment, so you can make a smaller or larger bottle as required without wasting any. A massive pro according to reviewers is the price, with many agreeing that this product is excellent value for money.
Parents say the ‘opening warning’ could be easier to find and clearer to read. “I struggled to find it and I would hate for someone to accidentally make their little one ill using it after the use by date,” wrote one reviewer.
“Used other brands before jumping onto nan other brands left my little one very constipated switching to nan was the best thing ever very gentle on bubba stomach 100% recommend love the product and good value for money baby number two is on the way and would definitely be using nan once again.”

Many reviewers said they have no issues using the Alula Original Newborn formula, it’s gentle on the stomach and doesn’t cause constipation. The price is very affordable, and it’s readily available in most stores.
On the other hand, some parents did find their baby became constipated while using this product.
“One of my 11-month-old twins is on S-26, she has been since birth (her sister has a dairy intolerance so is on script formula) she has never had any issues while on it.. she’s a very smart cookie and extremely happy, no issues with constipation. Reasonable price $17 at Coles, great product, I do recommend this to loved ones.”
